As they were: Tom and Tamzin announced their split last month after seven years of marriage

It emerged recently Tamzin, 42, had filed for divorce from Tom, citing adultery, following the breakdown of their seven-year marriage.

Tom is said to have moved out of the family home, but the pair have vowed to remain on friendly terms for the sake of their children.

Just three months ago Tamzin - best
known for playing Melanie Owen in EastEnders from 1998 to 2002 - said
she was 'very proud' of her husband, who has daughter Nora from a
previous relationship, and was convinced their marriage had lasted so
long because they rarely bicker.

She said in June: 'He's [Tom] doing really well and ... it's all pretty happy days at the moment. We're not big arguers.'

It’s thought that the Tamzin is
now being comforted by her close group of pals – including Nicole
Appleton who is no stranger to heartache herself.

An insider said: ‘Tamzin is
distraught. She thought Tom was the perfect husband. But after they
agreed to separate, they had a long heart-to-heart and he admitted he
had been unfaithful during their marriage.
